POWELL V. SONNYTT. In this 'case several Spanish gentlemen were concerned. An action at law , waa brought against the plaintiff in equity by the defendant, upon which a verdict was obtained for 24,000/. Before the amount 'was' paid, another party claimed the money. The counter demands arose from an insolvency of parties in Spain, Which occasioned a transfer of interests. The plaintiff filed his bill of interpleader, making the counter claimants two sets of de fendanta ; stating that he was prepared to pay the sum to either of the sets of defendants, upon a proper indemnity, that he should not at . 1 :"Y future period be called upon to pay the same sum over again. de paid the sum into Court, upon having an injunction to re strain the defendants from proceeding in any way at law against him, in respect of that amount of money. A reference was made to the Master,. to enquire to whom the money was dui` —he made his report, stating his judgment on the . reference. Exceptions were taken to the report, grounded on the c ircumstance that one set of the defendants only appeared either h ere; or before the Master, and that it was not according to the Prectice of the Court, thit parties could be heard in the hlatiter's °f6 ce, as had been done here, who had not enteted an appearance on the records of the Court., The disposal of this case was fixed for Monda y.

' . •.. • Mr. Parke opened the. pleadings,...and, the Attfm.lPP . , eneral for Lancaster , (Mr.• Sailitt)- stated' the , nature of e libel to ,the"Jnry.: Counsel for the defemfan4 Ser.'. ant ; Cross,,lind Mr. Pollocic. ' - • 1 The defendant pleaded not guilty. No justification was put upon the record. .From the Learned Gentleman's statement it appeared; that the plaintiff was a tnerClianl, and his wife a respect able Person'residing at Liverpool, Who kept a servant girl, f the name of Rachael Rankin, whom it appeired had eft • her situation, for .which she had been imprisoned. , he defendant,. who is in the Affiliation Office, it Teems, rr rims occasionally employed by Mr. Bean, the.proprietor of the Albion Liverpool Paper, to take notes for him before' the MayOr and Justices there. The libel complained of was in the defendant's own hand-writing, and interlined With pencil corrections. The plaintiffs' failing, on the first count of the' declaration, to support the printed libel, went upon the second count on the manuscript, which was read n the defendant's own hand-writing. Mr. Scarlett, in stating the nature of the libel to ' the Jury, dealt out most unmercifully his invectives gainst the poor reporters. He described them as the worst of beings ; as going about to cater for the public like cormorants, and no matter, he said, whether the in formation was correct or not, it found its way into the lewspapers—of such a description was the defendant.-- The public, ever fond of something new, swallowed every thing that came before them, " with a greedy ear." Neither character nor reputation were spared ; no matter what it was, a little circumstance was swelled into the greatest importance, Ind, without the least regard to the . ~ , feelings of individuals, reputation was blasted. It was, he said, a delightful thing to mix tit a dish of scandal, to set down on the breakfast table .,., "porting was, in fact, made a trade of; and if,the Jury did not, 'by their verdict ithis . day, • atop such disgraceful proceedings, it would ;be seen bow far libels of this.kind were. to be carried.— " I," said Mr. Scarlett, " dont know how you may feel, gen itlemen of the jury, on this subject (after having read, ; and commented on the libel) or how the lady must feel, after reading it in a publiC paper, which pointed her out as a person of cruel and tyrannical disposition, or what the husband must feel under such circumstances." Editors of Papers, he thought, ought to exercise sound judgment, before they admitted reports at all ; and if they did not pay a due regard to public feeling, they ought to suffer for their bad taste. . The Learned Gentleman then adverted to the facts as given in the evidence, and concluded by calling for exem plary damages against the defendant, who put no justifi , cation upon the record. Thomas Bean, examined by Mr. Parke.—He is the Proprietor of the Liverpool Albion newspaper; he received a letter from the defendant purportiiig to he it report; he has a part of it; there were two other pieces connected with it ; the paper shown to him is in the hand-writing of the defendant; the observations were made by himself prior to the publication; the report 'was printed; the paper has a considerable circulation fora new one. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Cross.—Witness re quested Mr. Forwood to take notes for him; he requested him to attend the Mayor's Court; there was another Court sitting at the same time—the Commissioner of the Insolvent Debtors' Court; the report was handed to him; he put the paragraph in his paper; he merely headed it " Refractory Servant;" cannot sey where the plaintiff live's; he did not know him at the time an action was brought against him ; he paid the' costs and gave up the author; was applied to by Mr. Dixon; Mr. Tay lor, the attorney for the plaintiff, pointed out the pare - graph to him after it appeared in the paper; he brought it to his knowledge. Re-examined by Mr. Scarlett.—At first he declined to give up the author; can't say when he gave him up ; it might be ten days after the action had been brought ; is not certain the action was threatened before he gave up the author; is not positive when the action wus brought ; the libel . complained of was in the 3d number of the Albion; he did not circulate the first number gratis; the sale is from 6 to 700; Mr. Jones told him the girl had biought an action and. recovered • The following is the libel , m IREFROTORY S ERVA NT. , —.1126111411 Rankin Was brought Bridewell, charged with hiving left the service of her mister, Mr. John Jones, broker, .of Springfield -street, Liverpool,who attended; and preferred that charge against her.

After this verdict had been gi ven , one of the Jury asked his lordship what sumwould not carry costs? when Mr. Baron Hullock said the v er dict must carry costs ; it was a question of damages, and they were not to con sider the costs. Mr. Sergeant Cross submitted that wider the Act of the 43d of Elizabeth, his Lordship had the power to certify, which his LOrdship said be would do if he had the power. We afterwards understood hi s L or d s hi p cer tified,--in which case each party pays his own cost s . So much for actions against the reporters for newsPaPeri. The Court rose much earlier this •dsit than was in tended, owing to the Attoruies not bet read_with their witnessee, upon which occasion his . .Lordship re marked, that he would st r ik e every ramie of the paper to ng morrow, if the parties were not ready when called on ; and in which the Attorney-General (Mr. Soarliat) remarked, that Lancaster was always behind ! CROWN COURT. M'KEANS. Mr. Courtney presented an affid av it o f the M'Keans to the following effect :-That previous to their committal they were in possession of household property to the amount of one or two hundred pounds, but that after their apprehension it was seized by the police.officers of . Manchester, and that in consequence thereof they were unable to employ either an Attorney or Counsel for their defence—when Mr. Courtney observed to his Lordship, that Mr. La vender (the head of the Mancliesterxolice) would have fold part of the fuiniture, and gives 'the M'Kealls the means of procuring legal assistance, but that he was de terred from so doing by the advice of his attorney. .• His ! Lordship said that Mr. Lavender had acted with great discretion in the business, ~foc had he done so he would have been liable to repay the *mount. His Lord-. ship then told the M'Keans (wha•stood at the bar) that he did not know what to say in the matter. If they .were acquitted, of course the property would be restored to them ; but if found •guilty, it would be forfeited to the Crown. Eventually his Lordship left the parties to settle the matter amongst themselves, since it was a point that he could not interfere in. The prisoners did not appear much dejected. Henry Barton, who was found guilty at the Lancaster . Assizes, Gth March last, of publishing as true, a forged receipt for money, knowing the same to be forged; but a point of law being reserved for the opinion of the Judges, whereupon judgment was respited, was brought up before his Lordship, and was ordered this. day to be discharged. John Branchvood, found guilty at the said Assizes, of grand larceny, but a point of law being reserved for the opinion of the Judges, whereupon judgment was respited, was brought up th is Say to receive judgment. His Lord ship sentenced him to be transported for seven years. William Lancaster, 29, and James Grosvenor , 19, were tried for a burgl ar y i n t h e h ouse o f C at herine iather, at Manchester, and stealing 141V111 books, four pictures, one shell, and other articles, her property. Sarah White, servant, stated that she was alarmed by a noise in her mistress's house on the morning of the 14th of June last, about halfLpast two o'clock. She rang a bell, and afterwards heard footsteps go through the house, and when'she came down stairs, missed the articles men toned in the indictMent. John Hughes, also a fellow -servant, stated that i he went to bed on the. night above mentioned, at 11 o'clock, and was awakened early in the morning by two men, who came into his bed-room and threatened to blow his brains out if he made a noise; they were alarmed by a ringing of a bell, and ran away. Kilbie, a police-officer, apprehended the prisoners in Manchester ' and found the property in their possession ; he produced the property, which was identified, and the prisoners were found Guilty. Death recorded. John Kelly, 22, Patrick Retferty, 22, Bernard Riley, 26, and Martin Parker, 22, were acquitted of a highway robbery at Manchester. Tohn rdly and Patrick litsrPrty ware aftertrarde found guilty of two , separate indictments ;' and the Judige said he would not pais s entence on them at present, for this reason—it was very likely he ' might leave them for execution: he would, however, make some inquiries re speoting them. It is generally believed that they will suffer. Extract from the Sheriff's Calendar —Edward Gibbon Wakefield, aged SO, committed by T. W. Tattoo, S. P. Humphreys, and G.

WAKEFIELD'S TRIAL. The witnesses for the prosecution, up to this time, have not been sworn. The bill, we understand, will be pre sented to the Grand Jury to-morrow, but the trial is not expected to come on before the middle of the next week, as we had anticipated. There is scarcely a bed to be ob tained in Lancaster, and'the place is full to an overflow. the interest is not in the least abated, but is more intense than ever. (YROSI ANCYMER CORIiIESPONDUIT.) . . . LANCASTICR, August 10,-- , The town, this morning, was all bustle in expectation of Wakefield's trial; which after all is very doubtful. The prosecutors are at a loss what charge to prefer, and which cannot be determined until the arrival of the Attorney-General, who is hourly ex pected. It is said the trial will be traversed until the next Assizes, which will probablybe ascertained to-morrow. AWFUL CONFLAGRATION- DESTRUG 'HON OF' SIX FARMS. Ctatearnost, Ana. 12.—Thursday evening, about nine o'clock, a most dreadful . fire broke out at Ale village of Pro . , in this county. It was first seen by a young man and woman, issuing from crevice between a cart hovel and a barn, belonging to Mr. Bicheno, situate is linuryu's-Thine, and it, is feared to have been the work of an incendiary. At the moment of diseoieri the body of fire ap peared not larger than a man's hat, but in au natant, stud before he could give an alarm, the barn was.one entire blue ; and being filled with newly-housed grain, it raged with dreadful fury, cornraunirat ing not only to the building right and left, but to the ri c k-y ar d o f Mr. Few, on the opposite aide of the .lane.

FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. WINDson, AUG. 11,—Yesterday his MAJESTY did not visit Virginia Water, but took some drives in the Great Park. In ' the afternoon the. Wowing per sonages arrived at the Royal Lodge, on a visit to his MAJESTY :—The Duke of Dorset, Earl of - Fife, Earl and Countess of Mountcbarlea, Lord St Helens, and the Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Stanhope ; the whole of whom had the honour of dining and passing the evening with his MAJESTY. Additional compa ny are expected to arrive this day at the Royal Lodge. To-morrow a large party are expected to dinner. Her Royal Highness the Duchess- of Gloucester and the Duchess of Newcastle continue their visit to her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta, at Frog more Lodge. The Lord Chancellor has nearly recovered from the attack of the gout in his hand, with which his Lord ship was afflicted in the course of the present lyeek.- , - The Countess of Eldon was much better yesterday. Sir Matthew Tierney attends her Ladyship daily. Despatches were sent off' yesterday, from the liecre tary of State's Office for Foreign Affairs, to Lord Granville, our Minister at Paris. Despatches were also sent off, by the way of Gottenburgh, to the Bri tish Ambassador at St. Petersburg. STATE OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN. Dublin, we regret to say, still continues in a very disturbed state; and pillage was attempted in various quarters throughout yesterday, in many instances with success. The first attempt was made about eight o'clock in the morning, on a baker's boy, in Camden-street, who, was conveying bread to Portobello barracks. He was attacked by i mob of about one hundred persons, aid 'the greater part of the bread taken from him.. Soma of the police came up at this time, and one man, Pat. APCibe, a cotton -weaver, was taken into custody. He was Immediately cornmitted to New gate to take his trial for the felony. Between six and seven o'clock, a mob of upwards of, one hun dred men, attended by a number of women, assembled in Stephen's green, from whence they went into King-street, where they com menced the work of pillage. The first shop attacked was that of Mr. Farrell, front whence they took fifteen hams ; other shops were afterwards attacked, and from some which were menaced, bread and money were thrown out. From King-street, this party, passed into Lower Stephen-street, where similar outrages were attempted. One. buster, in this street, of the name of Butler, whose shop was menaced, came out in front of it, armed with a large knife used for cutting up bacon, and with this weapon he kept the mob at bay ; the greater part of his windows, however, were broken. Peace-officer Cox came up at this time, and, with great resolution, dashed in among the crowd, following them through Golden-lane, into Bride-street. In the meantime, information was conveyed to the Heed-office, and to the police barracks in Kevin-street, and parties issuing from both at the same time, Mr. Bell at the head of the horse police, dismounted, coining up Bride-street from Kevin-street, and the different parties from the Head-office coining down the street front High-street ; the rioters were completely enclosed. Five of them were taken into custody, the remainder quickly dispensed. All the parties that went about yesterday, were attended by a number of women, to whom the plunder was given. We understand that parties of five or six in number weregoing about yesterday to private houses, rapping at. the doors, and de manding money. These demands should also be finally resisted. —Freetnah'S Journal.

HORRID MURDER-SANGUINARY PRO CEEDINGS OF THE DUTCH AT BENCOOLEN. On the 4th January last, a native of the name of Joe, in a fit of insanity, wounded with a spear his wife, and another woman, relative, and likewise attempted to stab several other persons; but happily they succeeded in escaping feorn the unfitrtunate wretch. The news soon got wind, when the Magistrates proceeded to the spot, accompanied by his police peons, all of whom were armed, although he hisuselfwes defenceless. Mr, Williams, the Magis. trate, spoke M the maniac, and asked hint for his weapon, when .he replied, in. English,. "Go away, or I ithall kill. you." Hei still persisted in his demand, when the wretch said, do you want it ? repeating the question three times, and immediately jnmping froni a viranda, about 5 feet high, stabbed Mr. W illiams in the belly Ind ir. the arm, threatening destruction every where. The dastardly police peons fled in the moment of danger: Mr. Williams lingered until the following Morning . , when - be died. The Governor, on hearing , of the.strair, sent a party to shoot tht assassin. He had, however, 'been pre viously shot by some natives' u that place ; when lie fell, he was secured, and brought to the green fronting the Governor's house, Where without any trial or inquiry he was immediately hanged by Ain neck, and shortly afterwards by his heels : in this state he remained until the evening, when he was cut down and removed to the usual place of execution, where . he remained for two days. The native's two sons who were living in the inte rior were ordered to be confined in jail. A few days afterwards, as one of the Dutch servants was - proceeding on duty to c.ellebar, lie was shot at in the middle of the day, but received no injury. This phice - is in a state of ferment, and God only knows what will he the result. Within the last , ten days no. less than four pertains have been murdered. The Bengal Goiernment authorised the Company's Agent here to send to Singapore such Calfrees as were desirous of leaving the place.

On Thursday last this .Regatta took place, and it may. be fairly said, that it was at least equal, if it did,not surpass, any previous exhibition of the kind in any part of the kingdom. At so early au hour as seven o'clock, though the sports were fixed for out, vehicles of various descriptions were pouring into this town, from Margate, Rarnsgate, Dover, Folkestone, Canterbury, !Sandwich, and the other principal towns, and we even taw no inconsiderable number of persons from places $O or .40 mile. distant. Many houses in the town, and the whole line of buildings facing the sea, including Deal Castle, and the other public establishments, w ere profusely ornamented with flags of all colours, and commodious stands were erected for spectators. The Banally', '74, guard ship, several King'. cutters, and three of the East India Company's yachts, besides several private yaslits, lying in the offing, were also decorated iu every part of their rigging with flags and streamers. At the Pilot-house, opposite to which a boat was moored, as the winning point, a grand stand was erected for the accommodation of the titled personages who had signified their intention to be present._ The Race* appointed for the day were three in number, between Deal Galleys of the first, second, and third class. Tke ?rites were, for the fires Class t-- A Purse of 16 severe4m, for the Ist winning boat. A Pull. of 16 half sovereigns, for the gd winning boat.

Aloe kin;lit of English fruit and vegetables were considerably cheaper; Oranges; Lemons, and Cherries .'(the latter on account of all but the netted fruit having' gone out of season), much dearer than, on this day se'nnighL liouseberries, Raspberries, and Asparagus, have nearly or quite disappeared. The season of sell rag Oranges and Lemons by the box or chest may, on account of the :pretty:generally unsound state of the former, be consi dered to,bave terminated. s. 41. to s. d.
